What in the world is Sarah Palin using a yahoo email for official anything?

That is beyond irresponsible.

Yahoo is only for throw away mail!
****

I used Yahoo when looking for jobs, or for social activities, but when it comes to sending confidential data like SSS #’s, I always use “code words” due to the nature of the data.

Well that’s a good thing if he really knows who it was.

One of the leaked e-mails suggested McCorkell wrote to Palin on Sunday to say she was praying for Palin. "Don't let the negative press get you down!" the message said.

Burn her!!!

I didn’t see the Fox report. I’m just reading the article posted. The article says official.

I’ve done that using Yahoo too. Yahoo and hotmail are great for those types of uses. But never anything that is compromisable.

That was the first sentence in the article.

"Hackers broke into the Yahoo! e-mail account that Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin used for official business as Alaska's governor,"

Gotta love how outside of FOX the media is trying to turn this into some kind of scandal for her.

The Secret Service contacted The Associated Press on Wednesday and asked for copies of the leaked e-mails, which circulated widely on the Internet. The AP did not comply.

The article is a lie. The hacker himself has said there was nothing there. Palin’s critics point to a single email between her and the Lt. Governor where they are complaining about a radio talk show host. That’s not official state business - that’s personal political business that they would try to crucify Palin for if they found that in her OFFICIAL government email account.

This is part of the con job. There isn't anything official there. This allows the press to shift focus from the hackers, the criminals, and to start a new conversation. "If" she was using personal email, that could be troubling, blah, blah, blah.

I noticed it last night in the coverage. "Yes of course its wrong to expose someone's personal email but..." and then on to the new narrative. "If its true" then on to the talking points. Shift focus away from the hack. Try to create a scandal where there isn't one, while backing away from the scandal that is.

"How could she be so stupid..." when there is no evidence of anything wrong on her part. She was the victim of the hack, and now the target of journalistic enquiry. Shift focus.

Then that is fine. That is how yahoo should be used.

O’Reilly says that he knows who did it and that he is calling the attorney general, today.

If he does, he got it from reading Michelle Malkin or Free Republic.

He won't acknowledge Malkin because she is just a pretty girl who Geraldo Rivera trashed (and BO backed up) or Free Republic because it is a conservative hate site.

I didn’t see the coverage last night. I don’t think the story shifted focus from hackers. I just posted an article this morning about hackers.
